Eight teams raced wooden fruit bins down the 100 block of Main St. and around the block in a double elimination round that eventually saw the Penticton Boys and Girls Club prevail to win this year’s event over the noon hour, Aug. 3.

Coincidentally the event trophy had been left in the care of the club after being won by the visiting team made up of Canadian Forces Snowbird members last year.

Several hundred residents and visitors lined the street to witness the event with local RCMP Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth as the master of ceremonies.

Festivities continue this afternoon in Okanagan Lake Park with a full afternoon of events, including a high dive show dancing, skipping rope demonstrations and musical acts.
